U.S. Coast Guard ships and aircraft continued to scour the Atlantic Ocean for a civilian plane that went down on Friday as a flight tracking site showed the aircraft tried to return to South Carolina before it disappeared off radar.
The Coast Guard has searched an area of ocean bigger than the state of Delaware but has yet to report any sign of the Piper PA-31 civilian aircraft that went down around 11.30 a.m. EDT on Thursday en route to the Bahamas from South Carolina, the agency said.
